Crossing Bridges: Book Reading and Signing
2024-05-12 17:00 - 19:00 | Sentient Bean, 13 E Park Ave., Savannah, GA, 31401, United States
Join Bike Walk Savannah, Friends of Tide to Town, Healthy Savannah and the East Coast Greenway Alliance for a special Bike Month reading of Crossing Bridges: What Biking Up the East Coast Taught Me About Life After 60 by Lisa Watts.
At 58, Lisa Watts felt restless. She had built a carefully balanced life of work and play, but it all seemed to add up to a life of mediocrity. She and a dear friend headed out to bike from Key West to Canada, a trip she had dreamed of taking for many decades. Those two months on the road offered a time of transition, teaching her plenty of lessons but mostly that she doesn’t have to be an armchair traveler through life’s third act.
In her travel memoir Crossing Bridges: What Biking Up the East Coast Taught Me About Life After 60, Watts shares those lessons in a collection of engaging essays about friendship, marriage, ambition, self-doubt, and more. Her aim: to nudge others out the door to go do that thing they’ve always wanted to do.
Copies of Crossing Bridges will be available for purchase from the author. Food and drink will be available for purchase from The Sentient Bean, and trail mix will be provided for attendees.
Visit https://www.crossingbridgesmemoir.com/ for more information. RSVP at the ticket link to reserve your seat.
